RE: Is biological evolution a ball rolling up a hill all by itself?

in #evolution7 years ago

Thanks! I'm aware of that, my point was a little tongue-in-cheek pointing out that just because we don't know why something works doesn't mean it can't be the answer. You said it best by saying that it is "outside our accessibility" how are there many parallel universes? How do we know? What caused the big bang? Why does it exist? We simply don't know the answers yet so we can't throw out any theory just because we can't fully understand/explain it yet.

Sort:  

You can't ask the question "why" in the meaning of some kind of will or sense, idea... For example why the Earth is the ball-shaped? Because of the law of gravity. If you ask what is the purpose of gravity, that is not the question for science, because no matter what the reason is - the gravity still exists and has the same properties.

Good point, by "why" I meant "what caused it" and to be clear, I'm not arguing for or against any theory. I'm just pointing out that we don't know all the answers so we should keep an open mind.
